Goddson: Bro US does not publicize what it doesn’t have, if the US has a weapon, they will choke it down our throats using Hollywood and other media means.. US has the track record of showing off.
Besides US is behind in most weapons arms race and an example is the hypersonic missile which only Russia and China has.
Mind you, Russia is fighting with 200k size army against NATO trained 700k Ukraine army… Guess what my friend, Russia is gaining more ground in the eastern part and advancing westwards. Doesn’t that give you a hint that Ukraine is losing and NATO cannot face Russia.
When you talk of nuclear weapons, no nation in the world stands a chance against Russia. See image below for clarification.
You're always repeating this nonsense about numbers, moving the goal post, everywhere you go. You no dey tire?
NATO is fighting Russia indirectly in the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Do you know the amount of funds, and Military aids NATO has deployed to Ukraine to defend themselves?
Do you know the amount of sanctions meted on Russia by different countries because of this war?
Yet Russia is keeping the war going and also balancing their economy.
How many sanctions were given to America in their invasion of different countries? Iraq, Afghanistan etc?
America fought only the military of those countries without external assistance, so it looks like America defeated them easily. But Russia is fighting Ukrainian forces plus external military assistance, weapons and intelligence from NATO.
Didn't Putin calculate all of these before his blind move? Don't you think its more honorable to take preemptive measures before embarking on a task than head on with clumsy maneuvers and retreat cowardly afterwards? Quite the opposite of how an advanced, sophisticated, modern military operates. Now he just succeeded in adding Sweden and Finland to the club. The alliance whose expansion he used as an excuse to invade a weaker country. Its always been obvious that Putin wants to resurrect the Soviet Union and leave his name in golden prints of Russian history. Toppling Kiev couldn't work, so he's resorted to land grabbing in bits instead of walking away, looking stupid. China is waiting to take back Taiwan, but she needs a template to follow and that's if Russia succeeds in taking all of Ukraine- a task which is now exposing Russia's incapacity. At least we deduce some facts here from whats playing out, 1. that Russian Military is logically and logistically dwarfed by the US' 2. That the US intelligence's claims before the invasion, although denied by Putin, was accurate and precise, just like their javelins 3. That Russkies are aggressive in their ideology. 4. That the Yankees are preemptive and more analytical in their approaches. 5. That Russia underperformed way below her initial assertions and expectations. 6. That all Russia's neighbours except Belial-Rus, are not making the same unreasonable sounds the myopic, empty Putin pans are making here on Nairaland, cos they feel threatened by an unstable Putin, than an 'hypocritical America.'
Ukraine has proven that Germany needed to step up its defence budgets and take security seriously. Ukraine has proven that though she is weak, still holding on with external support, stronger countries can do better to wade off the teddy bear's aggression in Europe.
Ukraine has proven to Finland and Sweden that Putin can't bite more than he can chew, so they can go ahead and cross that red line.
Ukraine has proven to the world that the Russian bear has been placed on a scale and weighs just 5 pounds in spite of her size. Guess she's just filled with air. It could be at the expense of their lives, but its for their land and the free world against autocracy & tyranny.
Ukraine has proven what you can never agree to as a Putin fan; That Putin's move was a foolish one.
ponyonm: How do you guys judge things? Less than 200k soldiers taking on 700k plus Ukrainian soldiers trained to NATO standards, plus mercenaries from all over the world and also getting weapons from about 20 countries and getting 24hrs intelligence from over 30 countries, yet have lost over 30% of their territory in about 90 days, and you say they are dealing with Russians?
uniquetechng: Don't believe or trust Americans , they are masters in mind games.
US keep developing dangerous weapons without announcing or making details public.
Remember US annual defence budget is $750bn annually while that of Russia is $56bn , so what do you think America do with $750bn defence budget annually ? Yeah building unclassified weapons.
Till this day no one knows the bomb US used in Hiroshima, not even the Russians can tell.
You dey mind them? Leave the emotional putards here to bask in delusion

First he gives you something to talk about, totally forgetting your Aspirants, then he keeps silent to keep you talking, after you have completely fooled yourself, he comes out with facts just to make you look stupid

How would someone earning 100k afford ro pay back a car loan of 3.5 million?
Even with a credit system. It will take 100% of his salary for over 2 years to pay for the car.
Which lender will agree to such a deal?
BTw Nigeria already has a credit system. Loan apps like Carbon and Branch use it.
The next president should focus on increasing local production to strengthen the naira. So that car of 3.5 mil can go back to the 1.5 mil it was sold 7 years ago.
TINUBU HAS NOTHING TO OFFER.
Oil dey your head bro. The man sense no full teaspoon. Walahi. Credit facilities for youths to spend on liabilities worth more than 20 times their earnings in a collapsing economy. That's his best strategy. And the stupid youths dey jubilate
Peter Obi pass this old man for many things. Incomparable. Ordinary loan apps most Nigerians dey collect, no gree pay. No be say most no fit pay. Dem no gree pay. Na Credit Card disuan dey yarn for mouth. Show me the economy you want to run on credit cards. Where's the bluebrint in place to revive the economy. Another form of stomach infrastructure scheme to further rope down stupid myopic Nigerians for many years. Buhari's flagbearer in economic failure now has a clue to Buhari's cluelessness. See as yahoo boys go rush go vote for this character. Nonsense!
DamnnNiggarr: My Bossom childhood friend was financially down and needed financial assistance because his landlord was suffocating him with his constant nagging. So he contacted me as his old guy and and told me the situation on ground and requested for financial assistance from me. I didn't hesitate in sending him the money which he summed up with the one he had and cleared his house rent.
So, this afternoon, his wife texted me, and in her text, she thanked me for the assistance and requested to pay me a visit and and help me with some of my chores since my wife is in Bayelsa. From the very moment I set my eyes on that text, I haven't been myself knowing fully well that one thing may lead to another during her visit/stay.
That my guy is so dear to me and we treat each other with utmost respect so for this reason, I wouldn't like to loose that respect and trust. This woman is anticipating my response, according to her.
Please house, how do I discourage her from visiting me in my wife's absence without it looking as if I'm avoiding her? What does she want? Who has been in this type of situation and how did you resolve the issue without creating enmity?
Okay...em first thing is, em.. I think you think she's hot or maybe she could get naughty, so its hard to trust yourself. I get it. Just give her an outright NO or a "not at the moment, maybe when my wife is around. I think she may like the idea of getting to know you as well" kinda response, if you feel an outright No will be ungentlemanly. You don't have to trust her. Its about you more than anything else. If you can't stand the idea in the light of retaining your marital dignity, turn it down.
Realists: Hypocrites abound in this world, it's a fact that for every 1 Christian killed in Nigeria, more than 5 Innocent Muslims are killed due to the insecurity caused by the United States of Hypocrites, when they deliberately toppled Muhammad Gadaffi's Government in Libya. Muslim countries need to blacklist USA & her crusaders sister states enemies of Islam. The modern slavery & neo colonization of Africa been done by the USA crusader state, is far more evil than the sugar plantations forced labour.
Okay. You can now take a break and get some water. You'll be fine.
pacificom: Can someone tell me if there is an internal war between Yoruba and Igbo from the way folks are attacking each other on Nairaland. African Unite o...cos nobody like us outside this continent.
That has been their stupidity. Nigeria has few solutions. One is true federalism, going by the degree of tribalism in display.
PrinceOfLagos: Igbo, the greatest and most successful tribe in Nigeria presently
My mom is from there
I can bet you that these ones may return and won't add up an iota of growth to the country if given sensitve leadership roles. Why? Tribalism. The elders and kinsmen showing them the path to their cultural heritage are already ridden with tribalism. An American is an American first, before his allegiance to his State and county. That's where their pride hangs; on the flag. See them here already shouting Igbo amaka. Nigeria's stagnancy has been the result of tribalism as a weapon of greed between the three dominant tribes. I'm vouching for Peter Obi, with the hope he will remain a Nationalist, rather than a tribalist. The day this changes, I and my household will look elsewhere.
Pymetrics: In as much as it is bad to take law into your hand, the none Muslims should also respect the belief of Muslims. The garbage you accepted in your own belief may not be accepted in others and Muslim are not hiding this. They have communicated several times that you can abuse me and my family, but do not go to the extent of abusing my God and Prophet.
Question now is what has happened to the muslims who mock other people's religion? Were they beheaded or imprisoned? El-Rufai who mocked Jesus Weytin them do am? Anybody touch am? Others tolerate theirs but they can't tolerate others'. What do you call that?
Any inch you gave terrorists Muslims you have yourself to blame
Dem go come begging as minority seeking equality, but Dem go unleash their Satanist cult when in number
My brother as in eh. I can remember vividly how someone claimed that the killing of Deborah in the north was because she lives in a Muslim dominated region. Now you can see that its untrue. The population no matter. That seed is ingrained
...and if you're still confused on what religion (though i hate to use this word,) to X off your list, in a quest to find the Truth then you now have a clue. After reading this story with an open mind, your list should be short of one, of the two religions mentioned in the narrative.
chachazzy: Don't forget China and North Korea with other silent ones. Only three Countries possess Hypersonic systems, Russia, China and North Korea, and they are allies. The US just tested one and failed again for the second time. Let's hope this does not snowball to WW3.
Its okay. Now after having let us know you barely understand a bit of what you're talking about, lemme give you an advice. Next time just type "I hate America" and it'll be more honorable. We'll understand its just an opinion.
Perocom: In as much i will not write off Russia totally, i do not think Russia can defeat the US even without any ally, the US is only careful with Russia because Russia, like the US , is equally armed with nuclear weapon, which if released, cause a catastrophic damages to innocent civilians, some less armed countries will be greatly affected. But if you leave the US vs RUSSIA in an all out war, omo, forget Russia, they will be diffused in days. The US uses common sense, wisdom to operate but Russia is arrogant and a bully, have u ever seen the US boasting of owning sophisticated weapon, where their President will visit testing sites and be hailing them, hmmm, these are childish behaviour, those who have the real thing dont boast. The US dissolved the former USSR in which Russia itself was among without an all-out war, is it Russia as a single nation that they cannot dessimate? What is happening right now is the subtle process that will eventually lead to the end of Russia and almost 1/3 of the world countries will support the US, it's just a matter of time. The day a very ruthless Republican President will assume office as a US president, you will see that most of these noisy countries will calm down. Do you know how many bases the US has all over the world, can you compare that to that of Russian? Do you know the budget for defence of the US, it's far greater than that of RUSSIA, CHINA, NORTH KOREA AND IRAN put together. Think again.
Wa sere joor. Correct guy. You deserve 1 full crate of Heineken. Oil dey your head.
mach7: Why don't you intelligently and factually critic what I wrote? That will be more helpful than this your shallow attempt at gas lighting. If I am pro-Russia or not is my business.
It'll be a waste of time my friend. Please do well to enroll for the ongoing IQ test. Chat up the admin with your credentials.
citygarden: I don't have a problem if NATO have military based in Finland, but they should also allow Russia to have military based in Venezuela and Cuba. If NATO can allow that. The west have used their Media propaganda to label Russia as a evil where the west are the real devil.
Russia have won Ukraine long time ago, the war you are still seeing in Ukraine is against NATO.
Alaye, I think you also need that IQ test. Its free . Just send your credentials to the admin to proceed. E go help. Don't be shy.
Taliban defeated NATO! pure and simple!, the Major Nato big players had their troops in afganistan fighting the taliban...ie, US of A, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Australia, Italy and new zeeland ...infact close to 36 countries contributed forces to fight the Taliban but what happen at the end of the day? They could not continue to withstand the talibans resistance , Talibans that were not equipped with Billions of Dollars conventional modern weaponry but just their Russian AK47, their Turban, baggy pants and sandals and NATO cowardly JAPA!....
that's your food for thought!
Baba I'll advice you to humbly go for that IQ test. It will help this platform a lot.
mach7: Your comments here isn't factual. Actually, Russia has 5,977 warheads which is more than the United States's 5,428 according to Wikipedia. However, the number of deployed warheads is 1,644 for the US and 1,588 for Russia, but Russia's overall warhead yield (destructive power) is greater than that of the US.
With regards to conventional warfare, I think you are very wrong. Important questions you should ask yourself is where will the war be fought and with which weapons. If it is a land war, Russia smacks the US as it has more land assets. if it is an air war, then it will a brutal stalemate as Russia has air to air capabilities combined with a very robust air defence set-up. So while the US will have the edge in terms of quality of planes and their quantity, Russia has the air defence means to protect its own airspace and serve as a backup to the air fleet. With regards to Naval warfare, Russia won't fight a surface war with the US as the US has an overwhelming edge so it will be a submarine based warfare and Russia currently has more subs (both conventional/nuclear) than the US. Furthermore, look at the map of Russia, and the map of the US and tell me how and where the US major conventional naval assets i.e. Aircraft Carriers can be deployed against Russia. They can't go into the Baltic, as Russia will destroy them from Kaliningrad, they can't go into the Black Sea due to the Bosphorus Straight, they can't attack from the Pacific as they have to pass the choke points of the Kuril Island chain which Russia controls or to alternatively go through the South China Sea (between Japan and Taiwan) and that draws in China..
Also note that the farther an Aircraft Carrier is from the area of operations, the lower the payload and operational range of the aircraft it carries as they have to carry more fuel and less bombs. If they attempt by any means to near the coast, then they come into range of land based anti-ship missiles such as the Bastion system.
On a side note, from February 24th to date, Russia has launched an approximate total of 7,560 air and sea launched cruise missiles at the rate of 60 per day. Even the US cannot keep up with such rate and this doesn't even include Artillery.
Russia's military industrial backbone is state-owned, while that of the US is privately owned. So their output ability at the moment isn't comparable. Secondly, the components and raw materials needed for the manufacture of most US weapons come from Europe or China/Africa (in terms of raw materials - rare earth metals). While Russia is self-sufficient in all its component needs (vacuum tubes and quartz crystals - Russia uses these in place of conventional chips due to their durability) and all raw materials are sourced from within its own territory.
Finally, what about food. To fight a conventional war, you need to feed your populace and also your army. US is a net-importer of food and means that any war that affects food supply to the US will cause major problems (just look at the current situation - US is not even directly fighting Russia, yet food inflation is already very high). On the other hand, Russia is a net-exporter of food. It can feed itself conveniently and also export to others. Hence, it won't be affected by food.
So these are points to note and digest before drawing conclusions.
In summary, you're pro Russia. Simple. All you've stated so far no hold water.
prettyboi1: I personally believe science over religion. Science asks questions & those questions lead to answers or at the very least, lead to the possibility of answers. On the other hand, religion is full of many lies & dogma;just do as you're told, don't ask questions. In religion, even when you are ASSURED that something would go a certain way & it fails to go that way, there would always be another excuse as to why the "assurance" failed. ��♂️
I'm not an atheist, I just do not believe in any religion. I believe in a supernatural higher power, I just do not believe in religion.
I can relate well. You're right tho. But I'm glad I finally found the answer after all the twists , with long lasting peace.
loswhite: I'm sure your super Russia has done exactly the same thing....lol. Going after small Ukraine while blaming NATO. Why doesn't he just attack NATO?
Simple. They won't answer this. When Russia set up military installations in Cuba, the US encircled Cuba, intercepting Russian shipment, ordering that the Russians dismantle the installations in Cuba. That was a direct confrontation. But here, Russia decided to hit Ukraine instead.
Taliban defeated NATO? When did this war happen? does this one even know what NATO means? chai where this kind dundies abi mumus from dey come sef? Abeg Nairaland should start doing Iq tests for new members I beg.
Hehehehehe....e shock you? Putards. Na their time be this o. No just give yourself headache
bestman09: All the commentators above should do well and join the Russian military and face NATO. Talk is indeed very cheap
No mind those clowns. Always shifting goal post upandan. You took a fight into man's apartment. He kicked you out to the gate and you begin smearing the gate with feaces claiming you just restrategized and your aim hasn't changed. Even if you throw stones into the compound from outside, nobody go ever take you serious.
